Harley Trip
Ok, so I've completely neglected my journal for the past month....... Not good. However, I have had LOTS going on in my life recently. I have been offered a job at a rather large, prestigious university and am just waiting for the "final approval" from the Boss' boss. This will be a HUGE step for me - as that it will DOUBLE my current salary...

So will the job change require moving elsewhere? Not that it wouldn't be worth it to double your salary.
I really need to write more regularly....... But then again, my life usually isn't THAT entertaining.
Ok, so I decided I needed a cordless drill - it's handy around the house and for working on the Harley! So where did I go for this purchase? Ebay of course! I found a nice little Dewalt 18 volt combo pack, complete with Hammerdrill and Sawzall. Now, I...

I have a friend who told me a story about him and his guy friends getting super drunk. They were just playing video games when out of no where one of them decided it would be fun to play with power tools.
Yeah. No one got hurt but they fucked up some furniture in his house!

you could always come to this one
Can I just begin by saying how much I love "The Donnas"? Good Christ, I can't stop listening to them! The girls know how to rock and I'm just fascinated with their latest cd (Gold Medal) especially. If you haven't heard them, I HIGHLY recommend you give them a listen.

Oh yeah, I have everything he's ever done recorded, which unfortunately amounts to only 2 CDs and a DVD.

Thanks! Had a wonderful time and am still trying to come to grips with that Fractal set too.... 
Wow, it's been over a month since I've updated! Here's the scoop. I was sick. Worse than I've ever been in my life, sick.. I mean SO sick that I didn't really get out of bed for 4 days, sick! It was the worst case of flu I've ever had! What's strange about it is that I am usually healthy as can be - even...

Dude! You vanished! I was just asking FallFromGrace about you on Friday night (go check out HIS journal if you want to see someone livin' the life).
Glad you're feeling better, and sorry about your dad. I'm so grateful I never smoked, because it's so paralyzingly addictive. That's one bad habit I don't have.
I am really going to try to go to Glacier this summer.
Don't be a stranger!

Good to see you're back! I'm sorry you got sick, but I'd be happy with that kind of weight loss!
hopefully you'll get some things here soon.

Ok, so Valentine's update time.
The day was abnormally smooth - no problems at work, everyone in a good mood etc. A close friend and I went to dinner at TGI Fridays in Kirkland. I haven't been there in a LONG time - kinda missed it! Anyway, we parked on separate sides of the restaurant so as I was walking back to my car, another...

Yeah, one time I went to buy about 25 3-cent stamps when they raised the price (again). The lady just gave them to me. I was really touched.

Have you heard about my new book series? It's based on "Where's Waldo?' but it's called, "Where's chuckg?"
I've now come to the conclusion that the government is currently testing their "mind control waves" through the medium of the Great American TV Show. Last night, I watched 5 (yes, count 'em: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!) episodes of The O.C. (Finally caught up) and I HAD to watch them back-to-back. No matter what I tried, I could NOT pull myself away! Now that...

Guns make my heart race. That's bad, which is why I can't own one. Rick's will be next month...

Happy Valentine's Day!
So I've been catching up on The O.C. episodes that my fabulous Tivo has recorded for me over the past 6-7 weeks or so. I'm SO lame I can't believe it! 
But hey, I'm entertained and for some strange reason, I really relate to the show.
Anyway, I really haven't been up to a lot, other than working too much. Saturday, I had this wild...

Be careful when you get the .50 The Deagles eject straight up and may hit you in the forehead. It is a mark you will bear proudly though.
Trivia last night was great! I met some really cool people and Sam came up with some excellent questions to challenge our puny brains!
I've been working so hard these past couple of weeks that I haven't had any time for myself. I haven't even been able write in my journal! Wednesday, I'd had enough and called in at work and took a "mental day"....

Hey, great to meet you last night. I actually think we were a pretty good team with pretty diverse knowledge, but I don't know how we did so poorly!
Keep in touch. You're a good man.

It was good to meet you too. We did good, but I'm sure we can do better next time.

ok, so I totally screwed up the name of that beer last night.. It's called "Naughty Scot". Anyway, after trying it, I found that it really wasn't at all for me. Then again, I'm not much of a "beer man" in general.
The owners of the company are coming back on Monday and I'm getting less and less excited about going to work. They always...

I'm having a hell of a time at my job right now.. <sigh> I need to get out more, spend time with friends, make new friends etc etc..

I have had so many "ups and downs" these past two weeks. The hard drive in my Thinkpad failed - so I had to wait for a new one to arrive and then rebuild my entire life on the machine. I never realized how much I use my laptop! So, the good news for this situation is that I have a new appreciation for my...
